Amos 8
Ang Salita ng Dios (Tagalog Contemporary Bible)
Ang Pangitain ni Amos tungkol sa Basket ng mga Prutas
8 Ito ang ipinakita sa akin ng Panginoong Dios: Nakita ko ang isang basket na may mga hinog na prutas. 2 Tinanong niya ako, “Amos, ano ang nakikita mo?” Sumagot ako, “Isang basket po ng mga hinog na prutas.” Sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon, “Dumating na ang katapusan[a] ng mga mamamayan kong Israelita. Hindi ko na sila kaaawaan. 3 Sa araw na iyon, ang masasayang awitan sa templo[b] ay magiging iyakan dahil kakalat ang patay kahit saan. At wala nang maririnig na ingay.[c] Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ang nagsasabi nito.”
Ang Kasalanan ng mga Mayayamang Israelita
4 Makinig kayo, kayong mga nanggigipit sa mga mahihirap at nagtatangkang lipulin sila. 5 Inip na inip kayong matapos ang Pista ng Pagsisimula ng Buwan[d] o Araw ng Pamamahinga para makapagbenta na kayo ng mga inaning butil at makapandaya sa mga mamimili sa pamamagitan ng inyong madayang timbangan at pantakal ng trigo. 6 Nagmamadali kayong makapagbenta ng mga butil na hinaluan ng ipa, para makabili kayo ng taong dukha na ipinagbibiling alipin dahil hindi siya makabayad ng kanyang utang, kahit ang utang niya ay kasinghalaga lamang ng isang pares ng sandalyas. 7 Kaya sumumpa ang Panginoon, ang Dios na ipinagmamalaki ng mga lahi ni Jacob, “Hindi ko makakalimutan ang lahat ng kasamaan na ginawa ninyo. 8 Dahil dito, palilindulin ko ang inyong lupain at mag-iiyakan kayo. Yayanigin ko nang husto ang inyong lupain na tulad ng Ilog na tumataas kapag may baha at bumababa tulad ng Ilog ng Nilo sa Egipto. 9 Sa araw na iyon, palulubugin ko ang araw sa katanghaliang tapat, kaya didilim ang buong lupain kahit araw pa. Ako, ang Panginoong Dios, ang nagsasabi nito. 10 Gagawin kong iyakan ang kasayahan sa inyong pista, at ang inyong pag-aawitan ay magiging panaghoy. Pagdadamitin ko kayo ng sako at uutusang magpakalbo para ipakita ang inyong pagdadalamhati, katulad ng mga magulang na umiiyak sa pagkamatay ng kanilang kaisa-isang anak. Pero magiging mas masakit pa ang huling parusa.”
11 Sinabi pa ng Panginoong Dios, “Darating ang araw na padadalhan ko ng taggutom ang inyong lupain. Pero hindi ito pagkagutom sa pagkain o pagkauhaw sa tubig, kundi pagkagutom at pagkauhaw sa aking mga salita. 12 Pagod na pagod na kayo sa paghahanap ng mga taong makakapagpahayag sa inyo ng aking salita, pero hindi ninyo matagpuan kahit saan kayo pumunta. 13 Sa araw na iyon na parurusahan ko kayo, kahit na ang inyong magagandang dalaga at ang inyong malalakas na mga binata ay mawawalan ng malay dahil sa matinding uhaw. 14 Kayong mga nanunumpa sa ngalan ng mga dios-diosan ng Samaria, Dan at Beersheba, lilipulin kayo at hindi na makakabangon.”
Amos 8
New International Version
A Basket of Ripe Fruit
8 This is what the Sovereign Lord showed me:(A) a basket of ripe fruit. 2 “What do you see,(B) Amos?(C)” he asked.
“A basket(D) of ripe fruit,” I answered.
Then the Lord said to me, “The time is ripe for my people Israel; I will spare them no longer.(E)
3 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord, “the songs in the temple will turn to wailing.[a](F) Many, many bodies—flung everywhere! Silence!(G)”
5 saying,
“When will the New Moon(J) be over
    that we may sell grain,
and the Sabbath be ended
    that we may market(K) wheat?”(L)—
skimping on the measure,
    boosting the price
    and cheating(M) with dishonest scales,(N)
6 buying the poor(O) with silver
    and the needy for a pair of sandals,
    selling even the sweepings with the wheat.(P)
7 The Lord has sworn by himself, the Pride of Jacob:(Q) “I will never forget(R) anything they have done.(S)
8 “Will not the land tremble(T) for this,
    and all who live in it mourn?
The whole land will rise like the Nile;
    it will be stirred up and then sink
    like the river of Egypt.(U)
9 “In that day,” declares the Sovereign Lord,
“I will make the sun go down at noon
    and darken the earth in broad daylight.(V)
10 I will turn your religious festivals(W) into mourning
    and all your singing into weeping.(X)
I will make all of you wear sackcloth(Y)
    and shave(Z) your heads.
I will make that time like mourning for an only son(AA)
    and the end of it like a bitter day.(AB)
11 “The days are coming,”(AC) declares the Sovereign Lord,
    “when I will send a famine through the land—
not a famine of food or a thirst for water,
    but a famine(AD) of hearing the words of the Lord.(AE)
12 People will stagger from sea to sea
    and wander from north to east,
searching for the word of the Lord,
    but they will not find it.(AF)
13 “In that day
Amos 8
King James Version
8 Thus hath the Lord God shewed unto me: and behold a basket of summer fruit.
2 And he said, Amos, what seest thou? And I said, A basket of summer fruit. Then said the Lord unto me, The end is come upon my people of Israel; I will not again pass by them any more.
3 And the songs of the temple shall be howlings in that day, saith the Lord God: there shall be many dead bodies in every place; they shall cast them forth with silence.
4 Hear this, O ye that swallow up the needy, even to make the poor of the land to fail,
5 Saying, When will the new moon be gone, that we may sell corn? and the sabbath, that we may set forth wheat, making the ephah small, and the shekel great, and falsifying the balances by deceit?
6 That we may buy the poor for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes; yea, and sell the refuse of the wheat?
7 The Lord hath sworn by the excellency of Jacob, Surely I will never forget any of their works.
8 Shall not the land tremble for this, and every one mourn that dwelleth therein? and it shall rise up wholly as a flood; and it shall be cast out and drowned, as by the flood of Egypt.
9 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord God, that I will cause the sun to go down at noon, and I will darken the earth in the clear day:
10 And I will turn your feasts into mourning, and all your songs into lamentation; and I will bring up sackcloth upon all loins, and baldness upon every head; and I will make it as the mourning of an only son, and the end thereof as a bitter day.
11 Behold, the days come, saith the Lord God, that I will send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water, but of hearing the words of the Lord:
12 And they shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the Lord, and shall not find it.
13 In that day shall the fair virgins and young men faint for thirst.
14 They that swear by the sin of Samaria, and say, Thy god, O Dan, liveth; and, The manner of Beersheba liveth; even they shall fall, and never rise up again.
Amos 8
English Standard Version
The Coming Day of Bitter Mourning
8 (A)This is what the Lord God showed me: behold, a basket of summer fruit. 2 And he said, (B)“Amos, what do you see?” And I said, (C)“A basket of summer fruit.” Then the Lord said to me,
(D)“The end[a] has come upon my people Israel;
    I will never again pass by them.
3 (E)The songs of the temple[b] (F)shall become wailings[c] in that day,”
declares the Lord God.
(G)“So many dead bodies!”
“They are thrown everywhere!”
(H)“Silence!”
4 Hear this, (I)you who trample on the needy
    and bring the poor of the land to an end,
5 saying, “When will (J)the new moon be over,
    that we may sell grain?
And (K)the Sabbath,
    that we may offer wheat for sale,
that we may make (L)the ephah small and the shekel[d] great
    and deal deceitfully with false balances,
6 that we may buy the poor for (M)silver
    and the needy for a pair of sandals
    and sell the chaff of the wheat?”
7 The Lord has sworn by (N)the pride of Jacob:
“Surely (O)I will never forget any of their deeds.
8 (P)Shall not the land tremble on this account,
    and everyone mourn who dwells in it,
(Q)and all of it rise like the Nile,
    and be tossed about (R)and sink again, like the Nile of Egypt?”
9 “And on that day,” declares the Lord God,
    (S)“I will make the sun go down at noon
    and darken the earth in broad daylight.
10 (T)I will turn your feasts into mourning
    and all your songs into lamentation;
(U)I will bring sackcloth on every waist
    (V)and baldness on every head;
(W)I will make it like the mourning for an only son
    and the end of it like a bitter day.
11 “Behold, the days are coming,” declares the Lord God,
    “when (X)I will send a famine on the land—
not a famine of bread, nor a thirst for water,
    (Y)but of hearing the words of the Lord.
12 (Z)They shall wander from sea to sea,
    and from north to east;
they shall run to and fro, to seek the word of the Lord,
    (AA)but they shall not find it.
